{"ops":[{"insert":"https://archidekt.com/decks/17177542/shadowheart_dragon_queen\n\nHi, still brand new to building decks, been looking at a bunch of similar decks and seeing what's popular for the deck trying to upgrade it. Don't expect it to be a tier 3 deck or anything, but I'm trying to figure out if there's anything else i should swap out or add. Not sure what cards I should be aiming for if i should add mana dorks and a lot more ramp cards, the deck has felt good so far, guess the only issue is that depending on the hand my game play might have a slow start. Really love the deck and i wanna keep working on it, so hoping to hear if theres any suggestions or if anyone has a better idea on what i should look for. Thank you so much\n"}]}
